Spatial Mobility, Migration, and Living Arrangements

“The emphasis of this book is a subset of the interconnection of migration and life course events … this edited volume is an important book for those studying migration and family structure. The ten empirical studies cover a range of important topics that will surely stimulate interest in research on spatial mobility and living arrangements.” (Barry Edmonston, Canadian Studies in Population, Vol. 45 (1-2), 2018)

“It approaches migration from several scientific views, with particular emphasis on social sciences and demography. The book also examines both international and internal aspects of migration. … Summing up: all the 11 articles are interesting and of high quality, binding together spatial movement and life course events. … The book can be recommended especially for graduate students and researchers in the field.” (Ismo Söderling, Nordic Journal of Migration Research, Vol. 6 (3), 2016)

“This volume addresses various kinds of spatial mobility (commuting, residential mobility, migration) and their connections with living arrangements. … the book does bring together some very nice pieces of empirical research. Most of this research is original work not published elsewhere … . The book furthermore presents a nice mixture of quantitative and qualitative work, which adds to its attractiveness. … This book provides welcome examples of the type of research we need to understand this growing complexity.” (Clara H. Mulder, European Journal of Population/Revue européenne de Démographie, Vol. 31, 2015)
